Washington, April 14—A North Carolina woman would be minister to Siam. Mrs. Lindsay Lucy Patterson of Winston-Salem, republican national committeewoman of that state, signifying a desire to enter the diplomatic service, has asked for assignment as minister to that kingdom. The choice is reported to be largely influenced by a friendship built up between a near relative and the king of Siam while they were in college together in England.
From the front page of the Danbury Reporter, Wednesday, April 15, 1925. Thailand was called Siam until 1939.
